But we're pretty sure that midway through that celebration, the Mystic Falls gang is going to realize the only reason they're all together is because of Katherine Pierce. Think about it: The only reason Damon returned to Mystic Falls was because he thought he saw Katherine, and yes, Katherine turned Caroline into a vampire, but Caroline has grown leaps and bounds since becoming a vamp — she's stronger than ever. They owe more to Katherine than they realize.

While we're not looking forward to Katherine's impending death, there is a chance Nadia can figure out how to use the Traveler dagger to put her spirit into another host. (Hey, we'd take some version of Katherine over not having her at all!)

Do you think Katherine is gone for good? Watch the promo below and tell us in the comments!
